| dc.description | eta Carinae is a stellar binary system with a period of 5.54 years. It harbors one of the brightest and most massive stars in our galaxy. This paper presents spectroscopic evidence for a fast (up to 2,000 km/s) X-ray outflow of ionized gas launched from eta Carinae just before what is believed to be the binary periastron (point of smallest binary separation). The appearance of this high-velocity component, just as the irregular flares in the X-ray light curve, can not be explained by the simple continuous binary wind interaction, adding to the intrigue of the eta Carinae system. | |
